OWNERS can give their pet tortoises and terrapins a health check on April 24.
The weigh-in will take place at Wilkinsons store, The Rock, from 10am to 5.30pm.
Experts, including a vet, will be on hand to give advice, free of charge.
John Thorpe, of the British Chelonia Group, said: "It's a great opportunity for people to give their pet a thorough health check and learn more about its needs."
